Top Great Bay Beach Hotel Reviews

Belair Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was amazing"

Divi Little Bay Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Beautiful location, amazing beach. Most of the staff were very helpful and friendly. Only issue was when we booked we didn’t realize it was low season so not all restaurants were available. Dinner buffet not offered, unable to book a scuba dive at the property etc. These unable services should have been made known to us by the hotel prior to booking or prior to arrival. Golf cart service offered which was helpful for guests with mobility issues. I would stay here again."

Holland House Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed the hotel very much. Staff attitude could be "hit or miss." We would have liked more breakfast options than just the set-price (expensive) menu. There was also often a lot of "banging" because of renovations/upkeep happening on other floors. Because of our hotels.com status, we were given 20% off food and beverage purchases, which was great, but the hotel charges a 10% "service charge" (not gratuity) on every receipt, so the 20% discount was halved."

MIDTOWN MOTEL SXM

10/10 Excellent

"Clean Room. Free Parking."

Alicia's Inn
